Answer:

Cells with 46 chromosomes are called <u>diploids</u> cells because they have two sets each.

Explanation:

In the human being, somatic cells contain 46 chromosomes (23 pairs), representing the complete chromosomal charge, so they are called diploid cells.

Ploidy is based on the total number of chromosomes contained in a cell:

  • <em>If the cell has the full charge of chromosomes —like </em><em>somatic cells</em><em>— is called diploid, and its formula is 2n. </em>
  • <em>Cells with half the chromosome charge are called haploid, their formula is n, and corresponds to</em><em> sex cells or gametes</em><em>. </em>

Two haploid cells can unite during fertilization, to give rise to a diploid cell, the gamete, which represents the basis of sexual reproduction. In humans, <u>Cells with 46 chromosomes are called </u><u>diploids</u><u> cells because they have two sets of </u><u>chromosomes</u><u> each.</u>

Identify the organelle with the following structure or function from the list below:
Mila [183]
The organelle you're looking for should be cholorplasts.

Chloroplasts are double membrane bound organelles, which is important for the process so photosynthesis. The outer membrane is smooth and gives the shape of the chloroplast, while the inner membrane forms sac that contains chlorophyll inside.

Chloroplasts exists in green plants that photosynthesize for energy, and they appear the most in mesohpyll cells, a type of cells in leaf.

When growing cultures, the agar is ________ to separate pathogenic colonies of organisms from colonies of normal flora.
Anettt [7]

When growing cultures, the agar is<u> inoculated</u> to separate pathogenic colonies of organisms from colonies of normal flora.

Agar is the medium that is used for growing natural, common flora of microorganisms as the majority of the microorganisms can sustain in the agar medium.

If we want to determine a separate pathogenic colony of organisms in an agar medium then we need to inoculate the agar growth medium so that the pathogenic organism is separated from the normal flora of the microorganism. This technique allows us to filter out the cells that have the pathogenic microorganism in it.

If the conservative model had been correct, how many generations of bacterial cell division would have had to pass before mesels
Reil [10]

No generations or hybrid would form before meselson and stahl would have observed evidence of a band in the cscl gradient.

The conservative model predicts that, following a single replication, half of the newly formed DNA double helices will be made entirely of the original, or old, DNA, and the other half will be entirely new. Then, each double helix would be completely replicated during the second round of replication. After that, 25% of the double helices would be all new, and 25% would be entirely old. Thus, the fraction of entirely new DNA double helices would increase with each succeeding round of replication, but the total number of completely unique DNA double helices would remain constant. Therefore, no hybrid DNA molecule containing 14N and 15N is replicated in the conservative model.
